Disjunctive programming and relaxations of polyhedra

Given a polyhedron $$L$$ with $$h$$ facets, whose interior contains no integral points, and a polyhedron $$P$$ , recent work in integer programming has focused on characterizing the convex hull of $$P$$ minus the interior of $$L$$ . We show that to obtain such a characterization it suffices to consider all relaxations of $$P$$ defined by at most $$n(h-1)$$ among the inequalities defining $$P$$ . This extends a result by Andersen, Cornuéjols, and Li
